WWE Monday Night RAW June 22nd, 2026 Results & Recap: The Street Profits Win Tag Team Gold Again, Lyra Valkyria Snaps On Bayley Before Night Of Champions

Today’s WWE Monday Night RAW came live from The O2 Arena in London, England, with the red brand getting one final chance to tighten up its road to Night of Champions before Saturday’s PLE. On paper, today’s show was built around two tag team championship matches, the final words from the King and Queen of the Ring finalists, and the latest chapter in Seth Rollins’ never-ending war with The Vision. By the end of the show, RAW had two real headline stories: The Street Profits are tag team champions again, and Lyra Valkyria finally stopped pretending she was okay standing next to Bayley. This was not a perfect go-home show, and some of the middle dragged, but the stuff that mattered mostly landed. RAW gave Night of Champions more heat, gave the women’s division a badly needed character shift, and gave the tag division a title change that felt long overdue.

Here are the full results

• Paige (c) and Brie Bella (c) defeated Bayley and Lyra Valkyria to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
• Ethan Page defeated Dragon Lee.
• LA Knight defeated Jimmy Uso.
• The Street Profits defeated Bron Breakker (c) and Austin Theory (c) to win the WWE World Tag Team Championship.
• Oba Femi and Jey Uso met face-to-face before the King of the Ring Final.
• IYO SKY and Liv Morgan brawled before the Queen of the Ring Final.
• Chad Gable apologized to Alpha Academy, but Maxxine Dupri rejected him.
• Jacob Fatu told The Usos he answers to Roman Reigns, not them.
• Liv Morgan pushed Raquel Rodriguez toward the Women’s Intercontinental Championship while ignoring Roxanne Perez.
• Chad Gable vs. JD McDonagh was made official for next week.

Breakdowns & Reactions

Oba Femi And Jey Uso Open RAW Before The King Of The Ring Final

Grade: B

This was a smart, steady opening segment because WWE did not try to turn Oba Femi and Jey Uso into something they are not. Oba came out in London looking and sounding like a monster who already believes the crown belongs to him. Jey came through the crowd with the energy of a man who can still shake an arena by simply showing up, but the deeper story was not just Jey trying to win King of the Ring. It was Jey trying to win while Bloodline drama keeps following him everywhere.

Oba’s strongest line was not about beating Jey. It was the warning that Jey was not the family member he was worried about. That immediately made the King of the Ring Final feel bigger than a tournament match. Oba is focused. Jey is emotional. Oba is walking straight toward the crown. Jey is walking toward the crown while Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa are all circling the same story.

What worked:

• Oba came off like a serious main-event threat.
• Jey’s crowd connection still feels massive.
• The segment tied King of the Ring directly into the Bloodline story without overdoing it.

What didn’t work:

• It needed a slightly sharper final image.
• Jey’s promo hit the right notes, but it felt familiar.
• Oba still needs more direct personal fire before Saturday.

Paige And Brie Bella Retain, Lyra Valkyria Turns On Bayley

Grade: A-

This was the first major turning point of today’s RAW. The match itself was solid, but the aftermath made it matter. Paige and Brie Bella retained the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, but the real story was Lyra Valkyria finally breaking after months of frustration, failed opportunities and uncomfortable tension with Bayley.

The match had the right rhythm. Lyra started hot against Paige, Bayley came in with her usual timing and control, and the champions did enough veteran work to slow the challengers down. Paige got the big home-country energy, especially once she started throwing suplexes and superkicks. The finish was the story. Lyra had Paige in trouble, hit the Fisherman’s Buster, but she did not capitalize fast enough. Paige rolled through and caught her with the capture DDT to retain.

That small hesitation is what made the turn work. Lyra did not lose because she cannot wrestle. She lost because mentally, she is cooked. Bayley tried to pick her up after the loss, told her they would get another chance, and Lyra responded by throwing her neck-first into the ropes, slapping her, beating her down and planting her with Nightwing.

This turn has been building in the background for a while. Bayley has been supportive, but support can start sounding like pity when someone keeps losing big matches. Lyra’s frustration finally had somewhere to go, and instead of turning Bayley again, WWE made the better call by turning Lyra. That gives Lyra something fresh, gives Bayley a real personal feud, and gives RAW’s women’s division a story that is not only about championships.

What worked:

• Lyra’s turn felt earned instead of random.
• Bayley came off sympathetic without looking weak.
• Paige and Brie retaining kept the champions strong.
• The post-match attack was aggressive enough to feel like a real character shift.

What didn’t work:

• The title match itself was slightly overshadowed by the angle.
• Brie and Paige felt like supporting characters in their own defense.
• WWE has to follow up with Lyra’s explanation immediately or the heat could cool down.

Chad Gable Apologizes To Alpha Academy, Maxxine Dupri Shuts Him Down

Grade: B+

This was one of the better emotional segments on the show because WWE did not take the easy way out. Chad Gable has been on a redemption arc since losing the mask, humbling himself and trying to make amends, but Maxxine Dupri was absolutely right not to forgive him immediately.

Gable’s apology sounded sincere. Otis and Akira Tozawa looked like they wanted to believe him. Maxxine did not. She reminded everyone that Gable did not just make a few mistakes. He manipulated, embarrassed and mistreated people who trusted him. That gave the segment real weight because redemption means nothing if everyone forgives you after one good promo.

The Maxxine part is where things get interesting. WWE has been teasing her around Austin Theory and The Vision, and if she does end up joining them, it would be a massive character swing. She could be the emotional dagger in Gable’s redemption story and the first non-wrestling piece The Vision has actually had that could give the group personality beyond “Bron is dangerous, Theory talks, Heyman schemes and Logan Paul cheats.”

What worked:

• Maxxine sounded justified, not petty.
• Gable’s redemption arc got more complicated.
• Otis hesitating before walking away was a strong small detail.
• The Vision tease around Maxxine has potential if WWE commits to it.

What didn’t work:

• The segment needed one more hard line from Gable after being rejected.
• Maxxine joining The Vision still feels more like a tease than a clear direction.
• WWE has to be careful not to make Gable the victim too quickly.

Ethan Page Defeats Dragon Lee

Grade: B-

Ethan Page vs. Dragon Lee was exactly what RAW’s midcard needs more of: talented wrestlers with clear styles, actual stakes and room to breathe. Dragon Lee brought the speed, the rope work and the babyface urgency. Ethan Page played the smug, cheap-shot heel who knows he cannot match Dragon’s explosiveness hold for hold, so he has to cut corners.

Dragon Lee’s offense looked sharp, especially when he picked up speed with his dives and counters. Page slowed him down by grounding him, cutting off momentum and turning the match into something uglier. The finish protected both men. Page stole the win with heel tactics, while Dragon Lee lost without looking like the lesser wrestler.

The bigger point is that RAW’s midcard feels healthy right now. Penta, Chad Gable, Ethan Page, Je’Von Evans, Rusev and Dragon Lee all feel like they belong on television. That is a good problem to have. The bad problem is that WWE needs to start defining the lanes. There is too much talent here for everyone to just float around having good matches without a clear destination.

What worked:

• Dragon Lee looked explosive even in defeat.
• Ethan Page’s cheap win fit his character.
• Rey Mysterio and Penta being tied into Dragon’s story made the midcard feel connected.
• RAW’s midcard depth is quietly becoming one of the show’s biggest strengths.

What didn’t work:

• The match needed more time to fully hit another gear.
• Page’s win was useful, but it still needs to lead somewhere.
• Dragon Lee cannot keep being the guy who looks great while losing.

IYO SKY And Liv Morgan Heat Up The Queen Of The Ring Final

Grade: B

This was not the deepest segment on the show, but it did what it needed to do. Liv Morgan came out acting like the crown was already hers because that is exactly who she is right now. She is Women’s World Champion, but she still wants the Queen of the Ring crown because being champion is not enough for her ego.

IYO SKY needed to stand tall here, and she did. Liv can talk, Liv can brag, Liv can hide behind Judgment Day politics, but IYO needed the physical win before Saturday. The springboard dropkick that sent Liv packing was simple, clean and effective.

The weird part of this match is still the tournament logic. Liv is already a world champion, so the Queen of the Ring prize is not as clean as it would be with someone chasing their first shot. But from a character standpoint, it makes sense. Liv wants to stack power. She wants the title, the crown and the ability to threaten another champion at SummerSlam. That is greedy, arrogant and very on-brand.

What worked:

• IYO got the last shot before Night of Champions.
• Liv’s arrogance continues to fit her title reign.
• The crowd was with IYO.
• The segment made the Queen of the Ring Final feel more alive than it did coming in.

What didn’t work:

• Liv being champion makes the tournament prize feel awkward.
• The promo was good, but not great.
• This needed a little more urgency for a PLE final.

Judgment Day Backstage Tension With Liv, Raquel And Roxanne

Grade: B-

This was one of those backstage segments that could matter more later than it did today. Liv Morgan was upset about IYO, Raquel Rodriguez was frustrated after losing her own Queen of the Ring opportunity, and Roxanne Perez was standing there waiting for someone to remember she exists. Liv telling Raquel to go after the Women’s Intercontinental Championship while ignoring Roxanne was the important detail.

That is how factions crack. Not always through betrayal right away, but through small moments where someone realizes they are not as valued as they thought. Roxanne asking what the plan was for her and getting brushed off was not loud, but it was telling.

What worked:

• Liv’s selfish leadership came through clearly.
• Raquel has a logical next target.
• Roxanne being ignored planted a good seed.
• Judgment Day has internal tension beyond just comedy bits.

What didn’t work:

• The segment was brief.
• Roxanne needs more bite if this is going somewhere.
• WWE has to stop letting Judgment Day bounce between serious tension and goofy comedy too quickly.

LA Knight Defeats Jimmy Uso After Solo Sikoa Interferes

Grade: B-

The match was less about LA Knight and Jimmy Uso and more about keeping the Bloodline pressure on Jey before Night of Champions. LA and Jimmy worked a physical TV match with punches, chops, ringside brawling and enough movement to keep the crowd with it. Jimmy hit a nice Whisper in the Wind and looked like he had momentum, but Solo Sikoa showing up changed everything.

Solo hitting Jimmy with the Samoan Spike gave LA Knight the opening for the BFT and the win. It protected Jimmy, gave Knight a victory, and kept Solo looking like a problem who can ruin anything at any time.

The downside is LA Knight still feels like he is being pulled into Bloodline traffic without a clear endgame. He is too over to just be scenery in someone else’s family drama.

What worked:

• Solo’s interference kept the Bloodline thread alive.
• LA Knight got a win without Jimmy being damaged too badly.
• The match had enough physicality to matter.
• It added another distraction around Jey before Saturday.

What didn’t work:

• LA Knight needs more personal direction.
• Jimmy losing because of family drama is starting to feel repetitive.
• The Bloodline story is hot, but it is also starting to crowd other people.

Jacob Fatu Tells The Usos He Answers To Roman Reigns

Grade: B

This was a short segment, but it mattered. Jacob Fatu telling The Usos that he answers to Roman Reigns, not them, was the kind of line that tells you where the power really sits. Jey is trying to win King of the Ring. Jimmy is getting dragged into problems with Solo. Fatu is making it clear that Roman is still the final authority.

That creates a strong problem for Jey. Roman told him to win without help, but the family keeps getting involved around him anyway. If Jey loses, Roman can blame him. If Jey wins, Roman can claim the victory belongs to The Bloodline. Either way, Jey is not completely free.

What worked:

• Fatu sounded dangerous without doing much.
• The Roman power structure stayed present.
• It made Jey’s Night of Champions match feel more complicated.

What didn’t work:

• It was short and needed more bite.
• Fatu needs more in-ring follow-up soon.
• The story is starting to rely heavily on implied Roman pressure.

Danhausen, Dominik Mysterio And JD McDonagh Go Full Comedy

Grade: C

This was the strangest part of today’s RAW. Danhausen campaigning, cursing JD McDonagh and JD getting electrocuted was very much a “your mileage may vary” segment. If you like weird wrestling comedy, it probably worked. If you wanted a tight go-home RAW before a PLE, it probably felt like a detour.

The problem is not Danhausen being goofy. That is the point. The problem is that Judgment Day has real tension with Liv, Raquel, Roxanne and Dominik, and then suddenly JD is getting electrocuted like he wandered into a cartoon. There is a place for comedy, but this was a hard tonal shift.

What worked:

• Danhausen got a reaction.
• JD being the punching bag is easy comedy.
• It set up JD as vulnerable before next week’s match with Chad Gable.

What didn’t work:

• It hurt the pace of the show.
• Judgment Day already has enough going on.
• The comedy felt disconnected from the bigger stories.

Seth Rollins Sit-Down Interview And The Vision Problem

Grade: B

Seth Rollins’ sit-down interview was needed because the feud with Bron Breakker and The Vision has been going on for so long that WWE had to remind everyone why it still matters. Rollins talked about having to put everything on the table, prove who he is, put The Vision behind him and get back to the title he never lost.

The issue is that this feud will not die because the split still has not been fully settled. Bron Breakker kicked Rollins out of his own group, came back to spear him at WrestleMania, beat him with help, cost him King of the Ring, and now they are going into a Steel Cage match. On paper, that is a real blood feud. The problem is The Vision as a faction has not actually done as much significant damage as it should have since forming.

That is why today’s main event mattered. The Vision finally lost something tangible. The titles are gone. Theory got knocked out. Logan Paul failed. Bron got baited. Rollins outsmarted them. That is the kind of actual consequence this story needed.

What worked:

• Rollins gave the feud emotional focus.
• The Steel Cage match now has a stronger reason to exist.
• The main event made The Vision pay for its own arrogance.

What didn’t work:

• This feud has lasted long enough that it needs a real ending.
• The Vision still feels more like pieces than a fully dangerous unit.
• Bron should feel like the top monster on RAW, not just the angry guy chasing Seth every week.

The Street Profits Defeat The Vision To Win The WWE World Tag Team Championship

Grade: A-

This was the best match and best piece of business on today’s RAW. The Street Profits needed this. Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford have been too good for too long to keep being the team that gets reactions, has exciting matches and then watches someone else leave with the titles. Today, they finally got the moment again.

The match started with The Vision jumping them immediately, which set the tone. Bron Breakker and Austin Theory controlled the early stretch by isolating Montez Ford, cutting the ring in half and using cheap tactics when the referee was busy with Dawkins. Ford sold well, took the lariat from Bron, kept fighting underneath, and eventually made the hot tag.

Dawkins’ hot tag was great. The corkscrew elbow, pop-up offense, Drill Bit tease and the Stinger Splash gave the match the burst it needed. The Doomsday Device Blockbuster looked like it could be the finish until Logan Paul put Theory’s foot on the rope and got ejected. That was the first crack. Then Bron and Theory kept trying to bully the Profits back into place, but the match kept falling apart around them.

The finish was chaotic but smart. Logan Paul came back with brass knuckles, Joe Hendry chased him off, Theory reached for the knuckles, and Seth Rollins came through the crowd to blast Theory. Bron chased Rollins instead of saving the match, leaving Theory alone for Sky High and Montez Ford’s frog splash. New champions.

That finish said everything about The Vision. They are dangerous, but they are also reckless. They cheat too much, talk too much, and trust each other too little. Bron was so obsessed with Rollins that he lost the titles. Theory was left to eat the pin. Logan Paul failed to help. The Street Profits were the only team in the match that stayed focused on winning the championships.

What worked:

• The Street Profits winning felt earned and overdue.
• The match had strong pacing and a hot closing stretch.
• Joe Hendry’s return worked without stealing the whole moment.
• Rollins costing The Vision protected the bigger Night of Champions story.
• Bron chasing Seth gave the Steel Cage match more heat.

What didn’t work:

• The finish had a lot of moving pieces.
• Theory once again felt like the weak link of The Vision.
• The Vision losing the titles makes their faction résumé look even thinner.

Best Match Of The Show

The Street Profits vs. Bron Breakker and Austin Theory.

This had the best energy, the biggest result and the strongest connection to Night of Champions. The women’s tag match had the better post-match angle, but the main event felt like the show’s true peak. The Street Profits winning the titles again gave RAW a real closing moment, and the finish added another layer to Rollins vs. Breakker without forcing a lazy brawl.

Best Segment Of The Show

Lyra Valkyria turns on Bayley.

This was the most important non-title-change moment of the show. Lyra did not just attack Bayley for shock value. She attacked Bayley because every loss, every reassurance and every “we’ll get them next time” finally turned into rage. It gave Lyra a needed edge, gave Bayley a fresh emotional feud and gave RAW’s women’s division something with real character behind it.

Final Thoughts

Today’s RAW was not flawless, but it was productive. The best thing about the show is that it did not just spin its wheels before Night of Champions. It changed the tag division, gave The Street Profits a real moment, advanced Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker, heated up both tournament finals, finally pulled the trigger on Lyra Valkyria’s heel turn and kept Chad Gable’s redemption story from becoming too easy.

The weaker parts were clear. The Vision still feels underdeveloped for a faction that is supposed to be one of RAW’s biggest threats. The comedy with Danhausen and Judgment Day was not for everybody. LA Knight still needs a direction that belongs to him. The midcard is stacked, but WWE needs to organize it better because Penta, Chad Gable, Ethan Page, Je’Von Evans, Rusev and Dragon Lee all deserve meaningful television.

Still, this was a strong go-home RAW because the major angles landed. Lyra turning on Bayley felt personal. The Street Profits winning gold felt satisfying. Jey vs. Oba feels more complicated. IYO standing tall gave the Queen of the Ring Final some needed spark. Rollins outsmarting The Vision gave Bron Breakker a reason to walk into the cage furious.
